On adding private project to private team

Projects only show up in a team's "Related projects" section if they have a specific role in that project (eg. maintainer or bug supervisor). They can see the project as long as they're on the Sharing list.

When you say you want a private PPA for each team, do you mean that each team should be able to download, or each team should be able to upload? The standard approach would be to create a PPA on the private team that should have upload privileges, and then subscribe any other teams or users that should be able to install packages from it. It's not possible to make an existing public PPA private, and you probably don't want to use a PPA bound to your own personal username long-term anyway.

Thanks William: That answered my question for the project but I still have the following question on private ppa:

I have created a private ppa under one off the private team, then within that private ppa I added access to the 2 private teams( under manage access). I am member of those 2 private teams. But when I try to install the package I get the following error:

- When using apt-get update:
       E: Failed to fetch https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/teamxx-name/ppaxx-name/ubuntu/dists/zesty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 401 Authorization Required

-When I do sudo add-apt-repository ppa: teamxx-name/ppaxx-name I get

Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~teamxx-name/ubuntu/ppaxx-name'.
ERROR: '~ teamxx-name ' user or team does not exist.

I must be missing something but cannot figure it out. As I said in my previous email I had this ppa as public I was able to install it successfully using my personal account. The private ppa is exactly the same as the public one. Simply using my personal account as member of the private team seems not sufficient to install the private ppa. What is required for a member of the team to do in order to install the private ppa?

Again thanks for your help,

Nadim Charara

apt doesn't have your credentials so the system doesn't know who you are. You need to go to the PPA and use "Manage access" to grant yourself credentials that you can use for this; that'll give you sources.list lines containing your username and a token.

Oh, and if you've already done "Manage access", then you probably need to go to https://launchpad.net/~/+archivesubscriptions to retrieve the actual credentials here.

Thanks for your quick answer. I tried it and this works. Before I moved it to solved Can you let me know why I get the following warning when I do apt-get update:

W: GPG error: https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/teamxx_name/ppaxx_name/ubuntu zesty InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D66279BB743D0616
W: The repository 'https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/ teamxx_name/ppaxx_name /ubuntu zesty InRelease' is not signed.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
